James Fox explores how mass communication and new technology helped twentieth century image makers transform society, as films,photographs, TV, art and advertising all became weapons in the ideological battles of the age. He tells the story of Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl, who each used cinema to pursue very different visions of power and freedom.
